Crash of JU88 Wnr885823 of KG76 on 21/6/43

Dear all,

on 21 June 1943 JU88 Wr 885823 collides with a high voltage power line and crashes in a field.
This occurred 3 km SW of Toulouse, South West of France.
Any information on the background of this accident ?

Three crew members are killed (Ernst Kappes, Hans Palm & Werner Kratzyn: KIA) and surprisingly, the pilot (Wolgang Skorczewski) survives.
I am astonished that on a JU88 crash, the pilot is alive while the rest of the crew is killed,
what is your opinion on this ?

TIA

GC
